Abstract

A method of adjusting windows and an electronic apparatus are provided. The method includes the following steps. A number of icons are displayed at the first screen, where the icons are respectively corresponding to programs being executed. A movement condition of the icons is detected. When multiple first icons from the icons are moved to a first side of the first screen, multiple first windows of the programs corresponding to the first icons are displayed on a second screen, and at least one scrolling bar is displayed at the first side of the first screen. A relative display position of the first windows on the second screen is adjusted according to a relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of adjusting windows, applicable to an electronic apparatus, comprising:
 displaying a plurality of icons on a first screen, wherein the icons are respectively corresponding to a plurality of programs being executed; 
 detecting a movement condition of the icons; 
 when a plurality of first icons from the icons are moved to a first side of the first screen, displaying a plurality of first windows of the programs corresponding to the first icons on a second screen and displaying at least one scrolling bar at the first side of the first screen; 
 detecting a relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side; and 
 adjusting a relative display position of the first windows on the second screen according to the relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first windows are displayed on the second screen without overlapping one another. 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying the first windows on the second screen and displaying the at least one scrolling bar on the first screen further comprises:
 displaying the first windows on the second screen, wherein a juxtaposition border is between each two of first windows; and 
 displaying the scrolling bar at the first side of the first screen in correspondence to each of the juxtaposition borders. 
 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the step of adjusting the relative display position of the first windows according to the relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side further comprises:
 adjusting the juxtaposition border between the first windows to change the relative display position of the first windows according to the relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side. 
 
     
     
       5. The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 when only one of the first icons from the icons being moved to the first side of the first screen is detected, displaying the first window of the program corresponding to the first icon in part of the second screen. 
 
     
     
       6. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
 a processing unit; 
 a first screen, coupled to the processing unit and displaying a plurality of icons, wherein the icons are respectively corresponding to a plurality of programs being executed by the processing unit; 
 a second screen, coupled to the processing unit; and 
 a detecting module, coupled to the processing unit and detecting a movement condition of the icons, wherein 
 when the detecting module detects that a plurality of first icons from the icons are moved to a first side of the first screen, the processing unit displays a plurality of first windows of the programs corresponding to the first icons on the second screen and displays at least one scrolling bar at the first side of the first screen, 
 the detecting module further detects a relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side, and the processing unit adjusts a relative display position of the first windows on the second screen according to the relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side. 
 
     
     
       7. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the first windows are displayed on the second screen without overlapping one another. 
     
     
       8. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the processing unit displays the first windows on the second screen, a juxtaposition border is between each two of first windows, and the processing unit displays the scrolling bar at the first side of the first screen in correspondence to each of the juxtaposition borders. 
     
     
       9. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the processing unit adjusts the juxtaposition border between the first windows to change the relative display position of the first windows according to the relative position of the at least one scrolling bar at the first side. 
     
     
       10. The electronic apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein when the detecting module detects that only one of the first icons from the icons is being moved to the first side of the first screen, the processing unit displays the first window of the program corresponding to the first icon in part of the second screen.
